{CAUTION:
Storing the tire sealant and compressor kit or
other equipment in the passenger compartment of
the vehicle could cause injury. In a sudden stop or
collision, loose equipment could strike someone.

there may not be a spare tire, tire changing equipment,
and on some vehicles there may not be a place to
store a tire.

temporarily seal punctures up to
14inch (6 mm) in the
tread area of the tire. It can also be used to inate an
under inated tire.If the tire has been separated from the wheel, has
damaged sidewalls, or has a large puncture, the tire is too
severely damaged for the tire sealant and compressor kit
to be effective. SeeRoadside Assistance Program on
page 7-7.

kit instructions.
